We were once a happy couple, a perfect picture of a family, just the two of us. Until he dropped the words that I thought he wouldn't say.
"Abort the child."
My hands went to my mouth, covering it, trying to analyze what he blurted out.
"W-what? Are you crazy, Roux?!" I snarled at his face. How could he think of something like that? "Roux!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. My lips were quivering while I stared at him hopelessly, but he was standing at his feet and was determined.
"Just do everything to get rid of the child; I don't want a kid with you." I was already sitting on the floor when he said those words right in front of me. "Blair, that kid is just a result of a mistake; I love your enemy, Lethia, and not you. I'm just fooling you," he said, crossing his arm on his chest and smirking. "The bad thing is, you gave in, so you're in this situation." My lips are quivering, this is not the man that I love.
I was in love with him, really. I was one of the believers that love is such a powerful word and an amazing thing in this world. I am a dedicated woman, once I'm in love, I do everything for my boyfriend but little did I know he was just toying with me. But I can swallow my pride just for him.
“P-please,” I couldn't even recognize my voice.
"Raven!" Axl's voice thundered all around. I avoided Roux's gaze and darted to the jade-green eyes of his big brother, Axl Raven, who was still looking at me with his arched brow. "It's not appropriate to talk to a woman like that.” He reminded his younger brother, he was about to step forward and leaned for help but his father gave him a warning look.
I know that even he is against the love of his brother and me, so I don't understand why he did that. Even their father and mother stare at me sharply, but I have to fight for my son. This is not just my son but their grandchild.
"No! That's not true! You're just saying that to hurt me." I tipped my head from side to side; I wouldn't believe any of it. "You're just lying!" I held his knee, and like a panda that climbs to it, he leaned down his head, trying to make eye contact with me. "You love me, Roux." I tried to stick with him, but while looking at each other, he resisted.
His sapphire ocean eyes always find a way to wake up the softest part of my heart; he is the only one who can do this. Roux had been my boyfriend for five years; it was just a secret thing between us. His family was against our love story, but he fought for me, for us, that's why I don't understand why he is saying those words to me.
I know him, he loves me.
“You're in love with me, we planned everything yesterday.” I sum up, his expression remains blank.
“I was just toying on you, trying to seduce you and get what I want.” My body stiffened hearing that, how could he say such a thing?! "I am choosing Lethia over you." Suddenly, some men grabbed my arms and pushed me away from the man. I stiffened, but thought of the child in my womb. My vision became blurry, my gaze darted in Roux's direction, and I saw Lethia with her hands on Roux's arm.
"N-no." I wanted to speak, but a knot formed in my throat.
"Just do what I want." After stating that, the two of them turned around and left me. The two men let go of me, and I almost fell to the floor.
My eyes were burning with tears; how could he command me with that? My knees get wobbly like jelly and I can no longer move to follow Roux, and I told him to take back his words. I feel like I suddenly lost my strength because of what I witnessed. Just yesterday, we were full of joy in our words, faces, and emotions while planning for our upcoming civil wedding. But why did he tell me just a thing like this in front of his family?
I couldn't believe it. I shook my head. This is just a dream, a nightmare, no! Roux loves me; he would never do this!
But it transpired and perfectly ruined me.
I was frozen by where I was located. What should I do now? Roux is my only ace; he's the only one that I have, and my family would intensely despise me without even thinking. All the hopes and dreams that I am trying to save from the two of us together with the baby have faded. I can't believe that all of a sudden that thing disappeared. We promised together, but he also left me.
Why am I always unlucky in love? At first, it was that childhood friend of mine who went to Los Angeles and made a new life with his mother. He chose his family over the two of us, and I can't blame him either because I know how much he loves his mom. Second is my last boyfriend; we lasted for two years, but in the end, he also changed me into a man. I fell during those times; I was in a bar, then Roux comforted me, and eventually, I fell in love with him despite the gap between our families. It was forbidden. But they're all right; it's better when it's forbidden.
This was the worst of all break-ups that I had encountered, having a kid with me and wanting to get rid of this baby. He was evil. He deceived me.
While trying to get up to leave this place, I was stunned to see the blood in my place, and my hip hurt completely. No one was around, everyone left me without even realizing it.
"N-no, no!" This can't be happening; after screaming, I fainted, and a hand suddenly made a way to catch my head.
After I woke up, I asked my mother what happened and if my baby was fine. I was hoping for a positive word.
"The baby's gone, hija; your baby went back to God." Her smile turned upside down. My mouth fell down, this can't be true! Hearing that news made me stare at my mother blankly, “T-the baby’s n-not that strong…t-that’s why when you give in your force a while ago. The baby gave up when your baby couldn't take it.” She howled.
She held her stomach and shook her head constantly, "My baby, no! My baby's not gone; you're lying!" I kept on repeating the words while shrieking the whole area, my mind couldn't absorb them. "N-no," fresh tears poured out as I spotted Mom.
"H-hija," air punched out of my lungs as pain blasted in my chest. Why my baby? Why was my baby taken immediately? What did I do to receive this kind of punishment? I was kind, obedient, and did anything to serve the Lord, but why does he still do this to me?
My whole body was shaking as I wondered why all this had happened. If only they didn't do this to me, I have nothing to lose. But what did they do? This is all Roux and Lethia's fault, and I will never forgive them for what they did.
The Smith family would pay for the damage they did to me. Today, I promised myself and my unborn child. I'll make sure they regret what they did. I'd take revenge for my unborn child whatever it cost.
Especially to Cove Roux Smith.
